error help on installation
- Thread starter MarQ
- Start date
First, it is not "ohci1934.sys"
A 1394 "firewire" device has native support. jmp56 has a good start. I would either disable in BIOS the 1394 Firewire support, or remove the third-party firewire card from the machine during installation.
You can battle issues with the card or 1394 being recognized after you install XP. Just do not fight peripheral problems during install. Disconnect everything unecessary -- whether USB or firewire during installation. Add them back on by one post-install.

its a clean install, and i guess its not a disc problem since i tried 2 different installation disk..with regards to that firewire thing...i never saw any firewire port for the PC..so i gave up..what i did, i just put a windows98.. 
anyways, if i upgrade to winxp will this still occur? if you think its "yes" then i wont proceed..i might have problems later if do it..anyway thanks for the advise..i appreciate the help.

its hard to say if the upgrade would work, because it could still have possibly been a hardware detection problem of some sort. start with checking the hard drive out and go from there.
only other guess would be a problem with the cdrom drive, but that isnt probable since win98 worked ok.

If you continue to receive file copy error messages, copy the i386 folder from the CD-ROM drive to your local hard disk, and then try to run the Setup program from your hard disk.
